Kia Niro: Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) / Good driving practices

Never move the shift lever from P (Park) or N (Neutral) to any other position
with the accelerator pedal depressed.

Never move the shift lever into P (Park) when the vehicle is in motion.

Be sure the car is completely stopped before you attempt to shift into R
(Reverse) or D (Drive).

Never take the car out of gear and coast down a hill. This may be extremely
hazardous. Always leave the car in gear when moving.

Do not "ride" the brakes. This can cause them to overheat and malfunction.
Instead, when you are driving down a long hill, slow down and shift to a lower
gear. When you do this, engine braking will help slow the car.

Slow down before shifting to a lower gear. Otherwise, the lower gear may
not be engaged.

Always use the parking brake. Do not depend on placing the transaxle in
P (Park) to keep the car from moving.

Exercise extreme caution when driving on a slippery surface. Be especially
careful when braking, accelerating or shifting gears. On a slippery surface,
an abrupt change in vehicle speed can cause the drive wheels to lose traction
and the vehicle to go out of control.

Optimum vehicle performance and economy is obtained by smoothly depressing
and releasing the accelerator pedal.

WARNING

Always buckle-up! In a collision, an unbelted occupant is significantly
more likely to be seriously injured or killed than a properly belted occupant.

Avoid high speeds when cornering or turning.

Do not make quick steering wheel movements, such as sharp lane changes
or fast, sharp turns.

The risk of rollover is greatly increased if you lose control of your
vehicle at highway speeds.

Loss of control often occurs if two or more wheels drop off the roadway
and the driver oversteers to reenter the roadway.

In the event your vehicle leaves the roadway, do not steer sharply. Instead,
slow down before pulling back into the travel lanes.

Never exceed posted speed limits.

WARNING

If your vehicle becomes stuck in snow, mud, sand, etc., then you may attempt
to rock the vehicle free by moving it forward and backward. Do not attempt this
procedure if people or objects are anywhere near the vehicle. During the rocking
operation the vehicle may suddenly move forward of backward as it becomes unstuck,
causing injury or damage to nearby people or objects.
